Tewkesbury's first railway station stood on the High Street and opened in 1840. This station was on a branch line connecting Ashchurch Station on the main Bristol to Birmingham line with Tewkesbury and the river quay on the Severn. The station closed in 1864 when a second station was built in the town on the new Ashchurch to Malvern railway. This first station was demolished in 1929 but for some inexplicable reason a pillar seen here on the left was left standing.
